Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Season the Pork Belly
Rub the pork belly with olive oil, then generously season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Ensure that the seasoning gets into the scored areas.
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Pour this mixture over the pork belly.
Roasting
Place the pork belly in a roasting pan and cover it tightly with foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.
Crisp the Skin
Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Roast for an additional 30-45 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Rest and Serve
Let the pork belly rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, drizzled with the pan juices.
